NIPS 2009 : Nerual Information Processing Systems Conference

Call For Papers

Submissions are solicited for the Twenty-Third Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, an interdisciplinary conference that brings together researchers in all aspects of neural and statistical information processing and computation. The conference is a highly selective, single track meeting that includes invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. Submissions by authors who are new to NIPS are encouraged. Preceding the main conference will be one day of tutorials (December 7), and following will be two days of workshops at the Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort (December 11-12).

Evaluation Criteria: Submissions will be refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty, potential impact, and clarity.

Submission Instructions: All submissions will be made electronically, in PDF format. As in previous years, reviewing will be double-blind -- the reviewers will not know the identities of the authors. Papers are limited to eight pages, including figures and tables, in the NIPS style. However, this year an additional ninth page containing only cited references is allowed. Complete submission and formatting instructions, including style files, are available from the NIPS website, http://nips.cc. Electronic submissions will be accepted until June 5, 2009, 23:59 Universal Time (4:59 pm Pacific Daylight Time). Note that this year, final papers will be due in advance of the conference.

Demonstrations: There is a separate Demonstration track at NIPS. Authors wishing to submit to the Demonstration track should consult the Call for Demonstrations.

Policy on Dual Submissions: Submissions that are substantially similar to papers that have been previously published or accepted for publication, in either a journal or conference proceedings, are not acceptable. During the NIPS review period, a submitted paper may not be under review in parallel for another conference with a published Proceedings; the NIPS review period begins June 19 and ends September 4, 2009. Submission is permitted of a short version of a paper that has been submitted, but not yet accepted, to a journal.

Workshops: The workshops will be held at the Whistler/Blackcomb ski resort from December 11-12. The upcoming workshop proposal will provide details.
